Chapter 102 - Young Cao Cao
Liu Bei and the others came to the upper hall and casually found a table to sit down.
Not many people can come to the upper hall, among the hundreds of monks who have come here, only less than a hundred can be in this hall, and some people who have come one after another did not get on the boat, but chose to wait and see how the situation went.
Since the appearance of Penglai Immortal Island in the East China Sea, the news has spread all over the Great Han Immortal League, in fact, only a small number of people have learned this news, and ordinary immortals can't get in touch with people and things at this level, so they naturally don't know about it.
Due to the difference in distance, the number of flying cars sent out is also different, like Jingzhou, close to Yangzhou, each county has flying cars to be dispatched, and like Liangzhou, it is too far away, it is rare to be able to send a flying car, plus there may be damage on the road, so that there are only hundreds of flying cars that can come here, and there are twenty or thirty people on a car, so there are thousands of people in total, fortunately, there are still some people who have not been on the ship, Sun Jian's warship can barely accommodate everyone.
When everyone who could come to this upper hall had already arrived, the hall was still very spacious, and after a while, Sun Jian came up and stayed with everyone.
Sun Jian is a bold person, he began to greet everyone after a few simple words, and the good wine and meat on the table were all rare and delicious treasures, and everyone naturally drank happily.
Long Xiangtian learned from Liu Bei that Sun Jian was the Taishou of Yangzhou, and among the thirteen states of Xianhan, Sun Jian was a relatively young Taishou who was not small, and the others were either returning to the void and the true one, or the long-famous Yuanying Zhenjun. Long Xiangtian thought: Sun Jian has not been in Yangzhou for a long time, so he naturally wants to improve his fame and increase his prestige, so he will take advantage of the opportunity of Penglai Xiandao to appear in the East China Sea this time to entertain everyone and fulfill the friendship of the landlord.
Liu Bei and the others ate some wine and food casually, not daring to drink too much wine, for fear that it would be bad if they got drunk and missed the opening of Penglai Immortal Island.
Long Xiangtian thought to himself: Among these foods, there is a lot of spiritual energy, absorbing and refining this spiritual energy is good for cultivation, otherwise why would the foundation building monks who don't need to eat at all still be keen to eat these foods, but there is no spiritual energy in this spiritual wine, it doesn't help cultivation, why do everyone still drink?
Long Xiangtian tried to taste it, and immediately vomited, he really couldn't get used to drinking, he felt that this wine was no different from the wine on the earth, and he didn't understand why everyone loved to drink, and then asked Liu Bei to suddenly realize that the monk's physique was different from ordinary people, and the monk who had reached the realm of building the foundation, after the body transformation of the I Ching, had a strong resistance to some irritating things, such as wine, if Long Xiangtian went to drink the wine on the earth now, it would be like drinking water, and he would not get drunk at all, because the body had resisted this drunkenness, even those things on the earth were ineffective against Long Xiangtianγ
But the spiritual wine in this world is different, it has a special process, which can make the monk drink and get drunk, and only this rare drunkenness can make the monk feel like a person, and have the same consciousness as a person, so that he will not let his spirit become numb and do something harmful to others and himself.
Sun Jian is not a well-spoken existence, after saying a few words, he asked everyone to eat and drink at will, and then left, so everyone began to talk to each other, and from time to time someone came to greet Liu Bei and others, Long Xiangtian found that among these people, some of them are children of prestigious families, some are sons of famous officials, and some are even royal relatives, but they are not like Liu Bei, who is a declining royal family, but the kind of people who have entered the clan genealogy, which makes Liu Bei envious and talks with that person very happily.
In fact, as Long Xiangtian's identity, he should also go to greet everyone and get to know him, but with Long Xiangtian's temperament, he still can't do this, just passively let others come, but just by virtue of the identity of Taishou's nephew, he doesn't need Long Xiangtian to find others, and others will take the initiative to come to Long Xiangtian to communicate, Long Xiangtian has to deal with them one by one, but he still feels very unaccustomed, fortunately, there is Liu Bei by his side, Long Xiangtian doesn't know what to say, so Liu Bei said it on his behalf, in this way, Liu Bei was able to meet a lot of people.
Soon after, another group of people came to greet Long Xiangtian and the others.
The young man at the head is seven feet long, dressed in a black robe, and his appearance is free and uninhibited, but he has a bearing that is difficult for ordinary people to reach. The four people behind him, of different heights, are all burly, with bright eyes, and they are all extraordinary people.
The man clasped his fists towards Long Xiangtian and said, "Is Your Excellency Long Xiangtian, the nephew of Jingzhou Taishou Jingsheng Zhenyi? β
"You, you're Cao Cao!" Long Xiangtian blurted out.
Unexpectedly, the person in front of him was Cao Cao, who was famous in the history of the earth, Long Xiangtian was suddenly excited, he didn't expect to meet another big man so soon.
"Oh, does Young Master Long know you?" Cao Cao asked suspiciously.
"Ah, a little heard, a little heard. Long Xiangtian said embarrassedly.
Then everyone began to exchange names one by one, and Long Xiangtian knew that the four people standing behind Cao Cao were Cao Hong, Cao Ren, Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Xuan.
When talking about Penglai Immortal Island, Cao Cao said: "This Penglai Immortal Island, about five hundred years will appear once, each time the location is different, but all on the sea, it is said that Penglai Immortal Island has a large number of divine weapons and treasures, but there are also all kinds of difficulties and obstacles, and even the danger of death." β
"Is Penglai Immortal Island so dangerous?" Long Xiangtian asked.
Cao Cao said: "Dead people are certain, and there are a lot of them, Long Gongzi don't think that the treasures on Penglai Immortal Island are so good, there are at least thousands of people who come this time, but in the end, those who can get the treasures, I don't think there will be more than twenty or thirty people, I once heard a Jindan real person who was to Penglai Immortal Island last time said that there are traps, traps, and traps almost everywhere on the island. Prohibition and formation, many people have died if they can't even find the place where the treasure is hidden, and there are not a few people who are scared to flee, plus everyone is competing with each other, the situation on the island can be described as tragic. β
Listening to Cao Cao's words, Long Xiangtian and the others couldn't help but gasp, they didn't expect that it would be such a dangerous thing to go to Penglai Immortal Island to seize the treasure.
Then Cao Cao smiled and said: "Haha! But don't be nervous, there are many dangers on Penglai Immortal Island, but there is never a shortage of people who defy the law, there will always be some daredevils who are willing to be pathfinders, as long as we are careful, it is not impossible to get treasures, but the most dangerous thing on Penglai Immortal Island is not those traps and traps, the real danger is actually those who come to the island together, for the sake of treasures, it is not uncommon to kill people and seize treasures." β
Liu Bei asked, "What does Brother Cao mean?"
Cao Cao drank a glass of wine on the table and said: "Cao means that when we arrive at Penglai Immortal Island, we should unite together, unite with the outside world, cooperate with each other, and form a force, so that others have no way to start even if they have bad intentions." β
"What do you think?" Cao Cao asked.
Long Xiangtian thought about it, felt that Cao Cao's proposal was good, and thought: First of all, he is Cao Cao, and there are four fierce generals of the Cao family and Xiahou family around him, and there are Liu Guanzhang three brothers on his side, and Lu Bu, a peerless fierce general, combined together is definitely a very strong force, whether it is attack or self-protection, it is more than enough, secondly, his side knows very little about the affairs of Penglai Xiandao, on the other hand, Cao Cao can say a word or two, and following Cao Cao may be able to avoid a lot of dangers.
Although Long Xiangtian still hoped to follow Cao Cao in his heart, he couldn't make up his mind in his heart, so Chuanyin asked Liu Bei for his advice.
Liu Bei did not reply, but said directly to Cao Cao: "I think about Brother Cao's kindness, can we think about it?"
"Then Cao Mou will wait for everyone's good news!" Cao Cao got up and hugged his fists to Long Xiangtian and the others and said, "Farewell!"
"Please!" Long Xiangtian and Liu Bei also clasped their fists and said.
After Cao Cao and the others left, Guan Yu asked Liu Bei, "Big brother, what do you think of Cao Cao's suggestion?"
Liu Bei said: "Indeed, Cao Cao's suggestion is very good, we cooperate with them, and it is easy to get one or two treasures, but the problem is that we are not familiar with that Cao Cao! Seeing that the four people behind him are not like ordinary people, it is not good to turn their faces with them after getting the treasures, and once they form a force, it will inevitably be focused on by everyone, and it will be bad, not to mention that even if we don't need them, it is more than enough for us to protect ourselves, wouldn't it be better to make a fortune in a muffled voice?"
Long Xiangtian nodded, thinking: It is true that he did not think about it well, and he didn't think about it so much, but fortunately, he asked Brother Bei's opinion first, otherwise he rashly agreed, and he didn't know what bad things would happen in the future.
"That is, no matter what they do, we will go ours, and the treasures we will get when the time comes, will we still have to share them with them!" Zhang Fei shouted.
Lu Bu also rarely spoke: "I don't want to be more burdensome around me. β
"You mean we're a burden?" Guan Yu asked angrily slamming the table.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Long Xiangtian hurriedly stood up and grabbed Guan Yu and Lu Budao: "Don't talk about it, you two, we haven't arrived at Penglai Immortal Island yet, why did we mess around by ourselves first!"
Liu Bei also persuaded Guan Yu and said: "Second brother, Brother Lu Bu didn't mean this, don't be impulsive." β
Seeing that everyone persuaded peace, Lu Bu snorted coldly, stood up and left.
"Big brother!" Long Xiangtian hurriedly said in the back.
"Go outside!" Lu Bu said in a weaker tone.
After Lu Bu left, Zhang Fei said angrily to Long Xiangtian: "Xiangtian, you see what virtue this big brother has, and we didn't provoke him, why does he still look down on us!"
Long Xiangtian hurriedly said: "No, Third Brother Zhang, my eldest brother he, eldest brother, he just can't speak, he grew up in the mountains since he was a child, and he has always been with wild beasts, and this is the first time to come out, so although the eldest brother is a little arrogant, but his nature is not bad, for my eldest brother just said bad things, Xiangtian is here to make amends to you, I hope Third Brother Zhang, you don't get angry anymore." β
Guan Yu said: "Xiangtian, I don't blame you, I'm also a little impulsive." β
Zhang Fei also waved his hand and said: "Oh, forget it, I don't mean to blame you Xiangtian, so forget it at this time!"
Seeing that they no longer cared, Long Xiangtian put his mind at ease, but he was even more worried in his heart, see you again in more than two years, Lu Bu's personality has changed greatly, and Long Xiangtian is afraid that there will be conflicts in the future.
